Major North Sea oil platform development

Objective

Provide worldwide shipping for all materials and equipment connected to a multi-billion dollar North Sea oil development project.

Materials need to be shipped to fabrication yards in Jebel Ali, UAE, and Rotterdam, Netherlands, to facilitate the fast-track construction of an offshore process, utilities and quartering deck and a wellhead platform and associated jackets for the multi-billion dollar development.

Activity

In addition to its international project logistics support, Trans Global Projects operated a dedicated 11,000 square metre warehouse in the Jebel Ali Free Zone to act as a buffer facility for all materials and equipment on the project. This was supported by a just-in-time onward delivery arrangement to the nearby fabrication yard and ensured a strict schedule was observed.

Through careful management, this facility was able to seamlessly integrate HSE&S expectations, meeting the exacting standards of a number of local and client-led audits.

The project met its key targets, including early load-outs of jackets and both decks from UAE and Netherlands to the offshore field.
